THE OTHER SIDE: Donald Trump v. The New York Knicks

The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump is a morality tale writ large taking place at a time when so many Americans seem to have misplaced morality.

THE OTHER SIDE: Little Lee v. General Electric and Monsanto — Round Four

It seems clear to me that GE does not want a trial anywhere near the town that has been injured or the river that has been destroyed.

THE OTHER SIDE: Monsanto v. General Electric — Round Three

While all might be fair as the corporate giants do battle, as always it is the innocent who are the real casualties of war.

THE OTHER SIDE: Monsanto v. General Electric — Round Two

In many ways, if you can get past the significant irony at work here, Monsanto tells a clear story of how severely and perhaps irredeemably our world has been poisoned by all the parties in this action. Make no mistake, however this ends, it seems to me that there really is no honor amongst thieves.

THE OTHER SIDE: Monsanto v. General Electric — Round One

It is remarkable what emerges when billions of dollars are at stake, and once colluding polluters decide they need to fight one another.

THE OTHER SIDE: White MAGA v. Black Fani Willis

Fani Willis’ unwavering determination not to be bullied, her unwillingness to accept blame for her independence and attitudes about men and money upended the MAGA attorneys.

THE OTHER SIDE: Who you gonna call?

THE OTHER SIDE: Who is the real vermin ‘poisoning’ our country?

One upon a time, politicians watched what they did and said in public, and often they paid a price for either bad behavior or slips of the tongue. But these are the days, my friends, where even monstrous behavior seems to matter not.

THE OTHER SIDE: Sue Monsanto, save Lee — a modest proposal (Part Three)

I have read too many words, written too many. For me, there is always the reality of a poisoned Rising Pond, but the enduring dream of a fishable, swimmable river.

THE OTHER SIDE: Sue Monsanto, save Lee — a modest proposal (Part Two)

Thanks to our share of Aroclor, we in Berkshire County have been victims of GE and Monsanto’s gross incompetence, remarkable negligence, and their unrelenting impulse to put profit before worker safety, and the public health and our environment.
